Grape is One of Hardiest and
Develop Well Without Fro]
to Train Vines to S<
PC
Unquestionably, the grape is one of
the surest fruits that can be grown in
South Carolina. Practically all the
standard varieties will succeed. Nor
is the fruit often Injured by late frost.
In general, it is safe to say that when
vines are properly cared for there is
a ?oHain,tv r>T a. CFOD e\'6ry |
jreer. j
But although the grape will pr*,- (
duce some fruit under almost any
treatment, yet results that are really
worth having cannot be obtained with- (
out proper care of the vinos. The old
practice of planting a vine just anywhere
and letting it grow at will is entirely
wrong. Under such conditions,
vines become thick and fall on the
ground, there is a tendency to overproduction
of fruit, to small bunches, j
and inferior berries, and at about the j
time the grapes begin to color up, they
begin to rot. As a result, when the
fruit should be ready for use, one-half
or two thirds of it is worthless. Besides,
vines handled thus are weak .
and last only a few seasons.
Perhaps the worst mistake in grape
culture is failure to prune properly. It
B very important that the \ines be
trained to some definite form. The
easiest method of training the grape
la as follows:
First year: Plant one-year-old vines.
As soon as they have been put out.
cut them back to th ee buds, as shown
at (a) in illustration. Should all three
of these grow, rub one off. leaving the
strongest two to grow and form the
frame of the vine. During the first
season's growth the young shoots
should be tied to a stake, as shewn at
(b) In illustration. This is to produce
healthy canes. Should they be
allowed to run od the ground, they will
be weak and more liable to injury.
Second year: A trellis must now
be prepared. Set posts 20 feet apart
along each row of grapes. This will
give space for two vines between each
two posts. Tho posts, when set, should
show four and one-half feet above the
ground. The end posts should be set
at least three feet in the ground and
well braced to prevent giving when
the vines arc stretched. The other
posts should be set at least feet
Agep. To the po:ts
I wires on which to train the vines. The
lower wire is two feet above ground
H and the upper wire two feet abo\e
lower. Those preparations made, the
young canes should be taken off the
stakes, one cut off at the height of the
first wire and tied, and the oth r allowed
to extend to the top v. ire, as
shown at (c).
Digging a Difc
Things move quickly nowadays. The
village of yesterday is tomorrow's
metropolis. Speed is ;t requisite, and
newer methods that smack o!" rapidity
and labor and money saving are 111

ceding season's growth can be fou
to take their places. If this canr
be done, all the canes should be c
back to two or three buds. The
buds will throw out shoots the nc
season on which the fruit will
borne. It is always best to renew t
arms each year if possible. When tl
method is followed, each vine will p
duce from 75 to 100 bunches of grap
each year, which is enough. T
vines arc also kept thinned out,
that the sun can strike all portic
and that spraying can be done si
cessfully.

WHY CROSS BREEDIP
5' Farmers sometimes get the mistaken
idea that cross breeding will improve
their stock. On the contrary,
, cross breeding has many disadvanj
tages and farmers are strongly advised
not to attempt it It has at times
)t been used with success in the hands
of breeders of long experience, but
for the inexperienced breeder it is a
most dangerous practice.
Cross breeding is the mating of two
purebred animals of different breeds;
for example, a purebred Hereford bull
with a purebred Angus cow, or a purebred
Berkshire boar with a purebred
Duroc-Jersey sow. It should be clearly
distinguished from grading, which
means the mating of a purebred with
a scrub or an animal of very little
pure blood, and which can be done
with perfect safety and Is urged upon
farmers.
One of the principles upon which
livestock breeding is based Is thai
like tends to beget like. When twe
purebreds of the same breed are
mated, we expect the offspring to be
. like its parents, because there is, be
hind each parent, a long line of pure
? blood. When two purebreds of dif
j ferent breeds are mated (crossbreed
; Ing), there at once takes place a
? | battle of breeds and the offspring will
be like that parent whose, blood is
strongest. When, therefore, two old
^ breeds, as Tamworth and Berkshire
or Jersey and Holsteln, are mated
ne there is a bitter conflict between
t0 bloods and Influences that have requlr
:h' ed centuries to reach their presenl
state.
rid
In cross breeding the first cross is
no
sometimes good, but after that such
ill breeding is very uncertain, because
>re the nature of the offspring will de
m- pend upon whichever of its bloods gets
of the mastery. Moreover, there is s
ne danger that sometimes the goot
on blood in each parent will balance thai
m- in the other, which will cause an out
he ' Dropping of some bad characters thai
ill had been held in check ever since th<
breeds began.
5n' Because of this uncertainty of re
suits, a crossbred Bire should never b<
re' ised nor any crossbred females kepi
nd for breeding, except where a pure
bred is at the head of the herd. Be
:Ut :ause breeders understand this, t
so crossbred can never bring more or
>x* ;be market than it is worth for raea
or work, and the farmer who breeds
. such animals loses his chance of sell

of two purebred parents of the
same breed. The crossbred is the

, different breeds. A crossbred can
never be registered, even if each of
its parents was a breed champion. |
If cross breeding is inadvisable,
however, grading is advisable and is
recognized as the quickest economical
way of building up a herd. Grading is
the mating of a purebred with a scrub
or with a grade. Generally the purebred
used is the sire and the scrub or
grade is the dam. Grading is perfectly
safe because all the power is on one
side and the results can be predicted.
